Announcement from the Ministry of Industry on Local Contribution Rate in Automotive

Important Statement from the Ministry of Industry: Domestic Contribution Rate

The Ministry of Industry and Technology shared important information regarding the calculations of the domestic contribution rate in the automotive sector with the updates made on February 7. The 'Motor Vehicle Domestic Contribution Rate Declaration List' will be primarily used in determining these rates for vehicle purchases by public institutions and disabled citizens.

Changes in the Automotive Sector

Within the framework of the Domestic Goods Notification published on January 25, 2025, it was stated that the domestic contribution rates would be calculated as of January 1. However, the excessive number of suppliers in the automotive sector and the high variety of product inputs revealed that these calculations could sometimes cause problems. Therefore, the Ministry decided to implement an exemption for domestic contribution rate calculations until July 1, 2024.

Scope of Exemption and Future Steps

The Ministry emphasized that this exemption, which will be valid until July 1, only covers final products. Local suppliers of final motor vehicles must take action to obtain the necessary documents. During this process, the domestic contribution rates of motor vehicles produced in Turkey will be determined by the 'Guide Document for the Domestic Contribution Rate of Final Products in the Automotive Sector' to be prepared by the Ministry.
